Merits of the Saints
Response to comment [from a Mormon]: "...[M]erits of the saints..."
Do you plan to ask God to move on over from his seat on
the throne? :smokie: Isa 46:9, Isa 66:1, Heb 1:13.
You will never be a God. God is the creator (Is. 40:28). You are his
creation (Ge 1:27).

"Now would a Catholic kindly respond?"
No cult or 'ism will save you. No work-based faith will save you. No soup in the basement will save you. Only the Jesus of the Bible saves (2 Tim. 1:10).
"I don't want second-hand grace."
You have no righteousness of your own (Ro 5:17). When one is in Christ (not in a plan or program), he is seen as righteous.
